I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at LA Fitness (Warren, MI) in Apr 2011
Interview
The interview process was very casual. Show up ready to train clients and demonstrate knowledge of the personal training field and practices on special populations. The training manager may ask you to take them through a workout to see what you actually know. Don't feel intimidated just treat them like a client or how you would treat a friend going through a workout.
The interviewer was very nice. He asked me questions about my personal training history and why I want to be a trainer. He asked a couple more questions about my background. I felt good after leaving the interview. I received a call to let me know I got the job and the next steps for onboarding.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What led you into this profession as a personal trainer? What's your story?
Great interview process. Fast and efficient. More like a screening and relaying info than an in depth interview. They didn’t really ask me questions about my qualifications or experience. Mostly on explaining the job process.
Everything was rushed. The vp of sales immediately started sexually harassing me. I complained to their headquarters. I never got paid for the time that I worked. I tried to file a claim with the EEOC.
